It works great, but I don't fully understand why. It even works better than specified in my post, because I want the compiled SDK files in a subdirectory. This is my working test dummy:
default: all
all: exe
clean:
rm -f foo.obj bar.obj sdk-objects/baz.obj main.obj exe
%.obj: $(filter %.src,$<)
@mkdir -p "$(dir $@)"
@echo "Compile $< to $@"
cat $< > $@
exe: main.obj foo.obj bar.obj sdk-objects/baz.obj
@echo link $^ to $@
cat $^ > $@
main.obj: main.src
foo.obj: subdir/foo.src
bar.obj: subdir/bar.src
sdk-objects/baz.obj: /tmp/baz.src
It just does what I mean! But how does it work? The filter function should just return $< - but at that point, the filter function has processed the source pattern %.src, so the rule is no longer a simple pattern rule. And then, something magic happens ... ;-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
